Hi Lovely Bloggerettes! I hope you enjoyed your weekend and you are ready to seize the new week.
I have a few little projects to show you but first of all the auction was a total bust. Nothing there for me. But I did find this little bench.
Once again I was so anxious to paint it that I didn't get a before picture. Let's just say it was dark wood with an ugly tapestry fabic top.
I fell in love with the legs and all the little scrolly detailing...
I've had this fabulous grain sack for a long time and just couldn't bring myself to cut it....that is until now....
It has a few small spots on it here and there but hey, it's old.
I have a few spots, myself!
I'm not sure I can part with this one, just look how pretty it looks in my living room.
I think I'll ask my resident designer if I should keep it or not...
Oh well, no response. She's too busy lounging and looking lovely.
I'm still loving this aqua blue in my living room. I found this pretty bottle and I think it's perfect with the mercury glass.

Well that's it for now. Remember it's a new week so get out there and create, make, sew, bake, photograph, paint, write, fluff and find something wonderful and share it with us!

What a lovely bench!
Sissie,
Your bench is lovely!
Nice find, Sissie! I love the details on it. I love the little footstool underneath it, too!
I can see why you liked it...so perfect in so many ways!!

Oh I love it, I know we hate to use the good stuff!! I think that bench was worthy though! Gizzy, she won't give you advise, but she will let you know as soon as you make a design mistake!

Yes, it's my kind of bench. Great redo!
That bench looks great in your living room, Sissie. You did a wonderful job making it pretty.
I love the aqua bottle too!
Enjoy your week.

I'd keep it! Love it with the grain sack and the little one underneath is adorable too!
Ohhhhhh.....nice bench! Like you I hesitate to cut fabric too. Not sure what that's about.
The bench is wonderful and I love the grain sack upholstery. Looks amazing in your living room. I think you really need it. Hugs, Marty
It looks lovely in your room, but, sometimes we have to part with our newly bought treasures... So we can hunt for more! That said it would be awfully hard to let it go. Live with it and love it until you find something you love more.
I love this Bench!! Just saying hi. Have a super week :)
Isa
Sissie- I would have a really hard time parting with that- I LOVE it! xo Diana
Sissie the lines of that bench are so pretty! Made even prettier by that great grain sack top! Looks like a keeper to me! Hugs, Linda
Truly a keeper, dear Sissie. It looks perfect there in your room, and with the sweetest footstool beneath,
and I love Gizzy relaxing there on your wicker table :-)
Hugs to you ,and a happy week.

Great post--I always enjoy your kitty pictures. Love your bench--and I love that blue glass too. Love the color.
Everything turned out so lovely. Kitty looks divine. Thanks for those encouraging words at the end of your post to go out and create. Good advice!
Great bench Sissie, I dont blame you for not wanting to part with it. The aqua is beautiful with silver.
Great redo. I love the bench, and you found a perfect use for the feedsack. Some lucky someone is going to snap that up the minute they see it.
It is very pretty and I love the cushion....I am sure I heard your resident designer say meowwwwww...keep it!
Hi! Sissie, I just found your blog! I will definitely be following you. Your little bench is precious!! It most definitely is a keeper, and so is your resident designer!
Your bench is STUNNING! And I really love the aqua with the mercury glass too. It looks so pretty. =)

You've worked your magic yet again, Sissie! Lovin' the bench, I bet Gizzy will claim it for her own:) And I adore your gorgeous octagon shaped table! The aqua and mercury glass are beautiful!
Your bench is definitely a keeper Sissie!
A truly masterful transformation as always and fits perfectly into your decor!!

Oooooooo, maybe you didn't find alot, but what you did find was great. I love little benches... they're easy to make cute, and functional. This one looks great in your house. The blue vase is cool too!
